Project has been appointed by the European Commission
a reference number CLT2004/A1/PA/CZ-170 in order to be realized within the
CULTURE 2000 programme.

The project aims to develop a virtual multimedia platform for innovative
production and presentation of Performing Arts. An intended 3D (three-dimensional)
environment will use the latest audiovisual technologies in order to interconnect
European cultural centres and artistic communities, and to enhance the process
of their collaboration on common productions by efficient distribution of
realization tasks in the virtual space.

Thanks to interactive and adaptive nature of the e-AGORA platform these
new productions will embed and generate original formats of creativity.
We aim to stimulate real to create virtual communities active in the field
of Performing Arts and provide them with innovative instruments for how
to prepare, produce, share, present, exchange, memorize, and disseminate
their performances.

The e-AGORA platform will become an experimental ground for realizations
of Performing Arts intersecting real and virtual spaces employing multimodal
interfaces and techniques of hybrid scenography. Professional operators
as well as individual creators will use the platform as a complex tool and
network for producing and sharing in a distributed way new artistic expressions.
